BATHING PAVILION
City Council Granted Lease at Oriental Bay
• Wellington’s foreshore is vested in the Harbour Board, so when the City Council is persuaded that something ought to be done on the beaches for the benefit of the community, it cannot go ahead and do the job as it likes. It has to ask the Harbour Board for permission to carry out the work. This was so in connection with the bathing pavilion at Oriental Bay. After lengthy negotiations the board has agreed to grant the council a fourteen years' lease of the area required for the bathing pavilion, a small part of which only is above high-water mark. Fourteen years is a brief period in relation to a building which is to cost £6OOO or thereabouts, and a longer term is wanted.
In the- meantime the working plans are almost • completed, and; providing some reasonable arrangement can be come to with the board respecting the lease, tenders for the erection of the structure will 'be called some time in July. Assuming that a tender is accepted in August, the pavilion will not be erected much before Christmas.
